Did You Ever Think You'd See the Day?
At long last, all our hard work has finally paid off and the much
anticipated event took place quietly in Thomastown last week. In
what was probably the biggest 'property deal' of the year in these
parts, Cuala finally took delivery of the keys for the new Dressing
Rooms from Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Co. Co. Pictured at the
handing-over ceremony were Monica Boyle (Parks
Department), Ken O'Sullivan (Runai Cuala), Rory
O'Sullivan (Parks Department) and Rob Hartnett
(Cathaoirleach Na nÓg). Rob tells us that there will a familiarisation
tour of the facility on Saturday 24th at 10:00 . All age groups
are invited to send a representative. In due course, when the weather
improves, Rob will have further news of a suitable event to mark
the official inauguration of the new premises.

Happy New Year. We hope 2009 will be one of great success and enjoyment
for all our players. For the 1995s, 2009 means Feile Year and their
mentors have been busy planning for the year ahead. They have designed
a range of resources for the U14s to help them prepare for the campaign
that lies ahead.

Juvenile Chairman, Announces New Games Tournament
Juvenile Chairman, Rob Hartnett presided over a well-attended
Section AGM this week and reflected on another rewarding year. The
U13A's two-in-a-row Division 1 Championship; the
U13B footballers reaching their Shield final and
the U14A footballers who - again - won the Mick
O'Brien Memorial tournament hosted by Nemo Rangers. The Feile gave
us the best of times and the worst of times - U14B footballers
bringing the Feile title back to Dalkey and then there was the frustrations
of the new format. Everyone in Cuala can take pride that the Juvenile
Section continues to produce a crop of great players and puts Cuala
on the GAA map. On the financial pitch, the Night at the Dogs generated
much-need revenue which supplemented team subscriptions but we the
need to increase team subs is a chalenge to be faced at the Club
AGM. Looking to 2009, the Juvenile Committee is aiming to establish
an Annual Tournament based around the U12
age group - a fitting event to showcase the soon-to-be
opened Changing Rooms in Thomastown.
